Company: Recreator LabsRuntime: 90 minsFormat: ScreenerPlot: Three teenagers stumble upon a secret laboratory while on a camping trip and encounter superior
clones of themselves. Duplicates; Doubles; Recreations; they are exact copies of Craig, Tracy and Derek, and the teenagers are no match for their physically
stronger, faster, and all-around better selves. Their only hope is to outwit them and
to escape before they are replaced.

Review: Alongside a screener for Attack of the Herbals, I was also sent another screener by MTI Home Video for a movie
they recently distributed here in The U.S and Canada titled Cloned:
The Recreator Chronicles, a movie I had heard nothing about before
seeing this screener, but was pretty excited to check out based on
just the title alone - after all, I always love me some clone action!

This one starts off with a group of
fun-loving teens going camping in the woods one weekend and during a
really bad storm have to seek shelter in a…

After an alien spacecraft destroys Washington, D.C., the residents of a
small town must fight off a unit of alien soldiers on the hunt for the
President of the United States and the mysterious device he's carrying
after his escape chopper crash lands nearby.

REVIEW: Alien Siege is the first 2018 Asylum-released movie that I haven’t really
liked. The acting is about average for an Asylum production, with some
actors doing better than others but nobody really being painfully bad like in some Asylum productions, and the CG special effects for
the alien spaceships look fantastic by their standards, and the
directing itself is serviceable for this type of low budget fare.

Unfortunately, that's where the things I enjoy end.

Even though the acting was serviceable, the characters themselves are written to be so incredibly flat and
boring that it makes it difficult to follow them for the movie's
runtime and actually care about anything that's happening to them. Just se…

Passengers and crew on an international flight are attacked by unseen forces that threaten all aboard. As they fight to stay alive, they start to realize that these are actually the spirits of murdered girls determined to stop their killer on board who will do anything to remain free. REVIEW:Even though Age of Dinosaurs and Zoombies are
probably still my personal top favorite Asylum movies, Flight 666 is
quite possibly The Asylum's best-made film to date. I probably still
wouldn't recommend it to people that are not already Asylum fans or SyFy
Original Movie type of fans, but for those that are like me and really
genuinely love these types of low budget movies this one really
impressed me.

The directing was great, with the background music
right up there alongside it, always setting the mood perfectly. The
acting from everyone in this was top notch stuff for Asylum and never
once took me out, and the special effects were quite well-done.

After killing her stepfather in self-defense, Anna Nix is sent to a juvenile detention center. As she struggles to survive in a world of girl gangs and predatory guards, kind-hearted Anna must fight her dark side to stay above the fray.

REVIEW: While still technically on my
self-imposed Christmas Break from this blog, Asylum-Regular Jared
Cohn (director of such Asylum classics as 12/12/12, Hold Your Breath,
and one of my personal favorites Attack from Beneath, aka Atlantic Rim) asked if I would be interested in receiving a screener copy of
his latest film for that company for early review, Jailbait (also referred to as simply as 17 & Life, or even 17 and Life: Jailbait) so of course I jumped at the
chance. Unfortunately that was before I was plagued by a seemingly a
never-ending stream of computer and Internet issues which prevented
me from watching the movie or updating my blog for almost a month, but now with all those
issues sorted out I was finally able to sit down and give thi…

Against the background of the D-Day invasion, a US military unit must rescue a brilliant British scientist, who is held captive by the most dangerous SS guards deep in enemy territory, however the mission turns ugly when the Allied soldiers battle with horrific experiments created by the Nazis.REVIEW: Nazi Overlord is The Asylum's newest release, obviously mockbusting
(as they do so well) on the recent theatrical horror movie Overlord.

The
first hour of this movie is a chore to get through. Some of the acting
is ok as far as Asylum's work goes but some of it is also downright
brutal, and nothing interesting really happens for that first hour
outside of a couple quick moments, which makes spending all that
meandering time with some of these actors all the worse. The first hour
could have easily been covered in a 20-30 minute time span and the
pacing would have felt much better for it, and it would have given us
more than a scant 20-odd minutes on the actual advertised …

An alien race, intent on decimating mankind and repopulating the Earth,
brainwashes humans to carry out acts of destruction. With the military
powerless, humanity's only hope lies in an untested, hi-tech mech-bot.

REVIEW: Hornet is an upcoming movie by The Asylum due out on December 18th, obviously made to be a mockbuster on the Transformers: Bumblebee movie. Amazon Prime Video in Canada has been releasing almost the entire Asylum catalog on their service bit by bit over the last week (so, pretty much early Christmas to someone like me!) and among the ones uploaded, much to my surprise, was an early release for Hornet!

The plot is simple enough, although a tad bit unbelievable (then again, which Asylum movie isn't? Hahaha). When aliens invade the Earth and start brainwashing people into a mindless rage zombie-like state, it's up to a group of University students to use their secret project - a fully-working semi-self-conscious giant robot called Hornet - to help save the …

A mercenary-for-hire accepts a mission from a billionaire to capture some
dangerous snakes that could possibly help cure a terminal illness. (Anaconda 3: OffSpring)A genetically-created Anaconda that can regenerate itself due to the Blood Orchid has escaped and must be stopped before it wrecks havoc. (Anacondas: Trail of Blood)

REVIEW: With SyFy's upcoming airing of Lake
Placid vs Anaconda I figured I'd try my hand at covering all the
other SyFy sequels from both series' leading up to this killer animal
mash-up, obviously excluding the three larger-budget theatrical
entries in the series (the first Lake Placid and the first two
Anaconda movies). But for those dying to know my thoughts on those
ones (I know I know, all two of you), I will just say that I
personally love all three, with Lake Placid being my top favorite,
followed closely by Anaconadas: Hunt for the Blood Orchid, and lastly
the first Anaconda.
Now, SyFy has had it's hand in plenty
of other big killer snak…

Just a few really quick, really short, thoughts on some B-Movies I’ve watched lately that I
never did reviews for, for one reason or another (lack of time, not in
the mood to do one, don’t have much to say, etc).

A frustrated, angst-ridden teenage girl awakens something in the woods when she naively performs an occult ritual to evoke a witch to kill her mother.

REVIEW: I loved the way Pyewacket was filmed, The acting was
superb, and while the story is a massive slowburn, it’s an interesting story all the same,
with a couple genuinely creepy moments. However, it’s a bit too much of a slowburn
and it never really gets crazy enough in the end to make up for it. IN addition I got
issues with some parts of the story.

5/10 rooms in the Psych Ward

The story about a group of youths who can't face the thought of growing up because anyone who does becomes a rampaging zombie. REVIEW: Don't Grow Up, also known as Alone in some parts of the world, has a really fun and really interesting…

It's been eight years since the opening night tragedy of Hell House, LLC
and still many unanswered questions remain. Thanks to an anonymous tip,
investigative journalist Jessica Fox is convinced that key evidence is
hidden inside the abandoned Abaddon Hotel - evidence that will shed light
on the hotel's mysteries. She assembles a team equally hungry for
answers with one goal: break into the hotel and discover the truth.

REVIEW: Hell House LLC 2: The Abaddon Hotel was easily one of my most anticipated movies of the year. The first Hell House LLC is one of my favorite found footage horror movies, possibly of all time. The level of fear, unease, and tension that movie portrayed was just unreal, so when I heard a sequel was coming this year it instantly moved to the top of my anticipation list.

Well.

What a gigantic disappointment Hell House LLC 2: The Abaddon Hotel turned out to be. This is right up there with The
Houses October Built 2: Hellbent as one of the most disappoint…

When a young Prince and his trusted aide
learn of a beautiful Princess's cursed eternal slumber, they embark on a
journey to rescue her. They must battle an evil queen and legions of
undead monsters before she will be free.REVIEW: In 2014 The Ayslum has already outdone themselves with their first offering; Mega Shark Vs. Mecha Shark is quite handily the best of the “Mega Shark” series. Andrioid Cop was a lean, mean, and great looking sci-fi actioner, that caught me by surprise at how smart it was. Even their less ambitious offerings, Apocalypse Pompeii for example, have been tremendous fun. So when I say that Asylum’s Sleeping Beauty is, without a doubt, their single greatest film to date, and an absolute masterpiece, please believe me.

Directed with great flair by Casper Van Dien (one of my favorite actors!), his directorial debut is an assured and visually dazzling work of art; which I don’t say that lightly. The cinematography maximizes the gorgeous Bu…
